Es gibt ganze Gruppen von Verhaltenstherapeuten, Trainer und auch angestellte in diverse Tierheime - wie auch ganze Tierarzt Vereinigungen: die sehr wohl täglich mit aggressiven Hunden zu tun haben und auch gegen solche Methoden sind.
Weil sie eben wissenschaftlich nicht fundiert sind, nicht auf dem letzten Stand und unnötiger Weise Gewalt anwenden wo einfach nur Methoden der operanten Konditionierung, Desensitivierung etc. vollkommen gereicht hätten: angenommen man braucht nicht die "Lösung" innerhalb einer Sendezeit.
Man kann sich die wirklich fundierten Einwände von andere Professionellen auf diesem Gebiet mal genauer durchlesen.

Also bitte hier nicht so tun als hätten nur ahnungslose Halter von Mini-Rassen etwas gegen solche Methoden. Es gibt auch andere Leute die Hunde resozialisieren ohne sie in einem massiven Stresszustand zu versetzen, ohne Flooding Methoden zu brauchen und ohne den Hund andauernd zu bestrafen, zu würgen etc etc.
Hier einige der Zitate der "Experten" die wirklich täglich mit Hunde zu tun haben:
Dr. Nicholas Dodman - Professor and Head, Section of Animal Behavior
Director of Behavior Clinic, Tufts University - Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine
“Cesar Millan's methods are based on flooding and punishment. The results, though immediate, will be only transitory. His methods are misguided, outmoded, in some cases dangerous, and often inhumane. You would not want to be a dog under his sphere of influence. The sad thing is that the public does not recognize the error of his ways. My college thinks it is a travesty. We’ve written to National Geographic Channel and told them they have put dog training back 20 years.”
Jean Donaldson, The San Francisco SPCA-Director of The Academy for Dog Trainers
“Practices such as physically confronting aggressive dogs and using of choke collars for fearful dogs are outrageous by even the most diluted dog training standards. A profession that has been making steady gains in its professionalism, technical sophistication and humane standards has been greatly set back. I have long been deeply troubled by the popularity of Mr. Millan as so many will emulate him. To co-opt a word like ‘whispering’ for arcane, violent and technically unsound practice is unconscionable.”
Dr. Suzanne Hetts, Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist
Co-owner of Animal Behavior Associates, Inc., Littleton, CO
"A number of qualified professionals have voiced concern for the welfare of pet dogs that experience the strong corrections administered by Mr. Millan. My concerns are based on his inappropriateness, inaccurate statements, and complete fabrications of explanations for dog behavior. His ideas, especially those about “dominance”, are completely disconnected from the sciences of ethology and animal learning, which are our best hope for understanding and training our dogs and meeting their behavioral needs. Many of the techniques he encourages the public to try are dangerous, and not good for dogs or our relationships with them ."
Vyolet Michaels, CTC, CPDT (Certified Dog Trainer and Behavior Counselor)
Owner of Urban Dawgs, LLC of Red Bank, NJ
"Cesar Millan employs outdated methods that are dangerous and inhumane. Using a choke chain and treadmill to treat fear of strangers and dogs is completely inappropriate. Hopefully the National Geographic Channel will listen to the scientific community and discontinue production of The Dog Whisperer."
Und einen solchen Weg einzuschlagen, kommt für mich nicht in Frage.
wann haben denn tierquäler schon die strafe bekommen, die ihnen zusteht oder zustehen würde- da muss schon heftig blut fließen oder andere perversitäten nachweisbar sein
